NCAA Tournament Odds - 22 Mar

The odds of each team winning the championship have changed considerably in the past week, with 52 teams now eliminated from the tournament. 28 of those teams saw their odds shrink to 0 (they lost a game, so they can't win anymore), and 24 of those teams already had no chance. VCU is the only team that has completely defied the odds, with no chance of winning the title initially, but a small one now.

NBA Player of the Day

Dwight Howard - ORL - 28 pts, 18 reb, 4 ast, 4 stl, 4 blk, 9-11 FG, 10-12 FT

Howard was the 20th player this season to record 28 points and 18 rebounds in the same game, but he was only the third to add at least 4 assists to those totals and the only one to record either 4 blocks or 4 steals in that same game, and Howard did all of the above is leading Orlando over Cleveland last night. To make his performance even more amazing, he hit 10 of 12 free throws, well above his career average of 59.7%
